Page (lv_page)

Overview

The Page consist of two Containers on each other:

  • a background (or base)

  • a top which is scrollable.

The background object can be referenced as the page itself like: lv_obj_set_width(page, 100).

If you create a child on the page it will be automatically moved to the scrollable container. If the scrollable container becomes larger then the background it can be *scrolled by dragging (like the lists on smartphones).

By default, the scrollable’s has LV_FIT_FILLauto fit in all directions. It means the scrollable size will be the same as the background’s size (minus the paddings) while the children are in the background. But when an object is positioned out of the background the scrollable size will be increased to involve it.

Scrollbars

Scrollbars can be shown according to four policies:

  • LV_SB_MODE_OFF Never show scrollbars

  • LV_SB_MODE_ON Always show scrollbars

  • LV_SB_MODE_DRAG Show scrollbars when the page is being dragged

  • LV_SB_MODE_AUTO Show scrollbars when the scrollable container is large enough to be scrolled

You can set scroll bar show policy by: lv_page_set_sb_mode(page, SB_MODE). The default value is LV_SB_MODE_AUTO.

Glue object

You can glue children to the page. In this case, you can scroll the page by dragging the child object. It can be enabled by the lv_page_glue_obj(child, true).

Focus object

You can focus on an object on a page with lv_page_focus(page, child, LV_ANIM_ONO/FF). It will move the scrollable container to show a child. The time of the animation can be set by lv_page_set_anim_time(page, anim_time) in milliseconds.

Manual navigation

You can move the scrollable object manually using lv_page_scroll_hor(page, dist) and lv_page_scroll_ver(page, dist)

Edge flash

A circle-like effect can be shown if the list reached the most top/bottom/left/right position. lv_page_set_edge_flash(list, en) enables this feature.

Scroll propagation

If the list is created on an other scrollable element (like an other page) and the Page can’t be scrolled further the scrolling can be propagated to the parent to continue the scrolling on the parent. It can be enabled with lv_page_set_scroll_propagation(list, true)

Scrollable API

There are functions to directly set/get the scrollable’s attributes:

  • lv_page_get_scrl()

  • lv_page_set_scrl_fit/fint2/fit4()

  • lv_page_set_scrl_width()

  • lv_page_set_scrl_height()

  • lv_page_set_scrl_layout()

Notes

The background draws its border when the scrollable is drawn. It ensures that the page always will have a closed shape even if the scrollable has the same color as the Page’s parent.

Styles

Use lv_page_set_style(page, LV_PAGE_STYLE_...,  &style) to set a new style for an element of the page:

  • LV_PAGE_STYLE_BG background’s style which uses all style.body properties (default: lv_style_pretty_color)

  • LV_PAGE_STYLE_SCRL scrollable’s style which uses all style.body properties (default: lv_style_pretty)

  • LV_PAGE_STYLE_SB scrollbar’s style which uses all style.body properties. padding.right/bottom sets horizontal and vertical the scrollbars’ padding respectively and the padding.inner sets the scrollbar’s width. (default: lv_style_pretty_color)

Events

Only the Generic events are sent by the object type.

The scrollable object has a default event callback which propagates the following events to the background object: LV_EVENT_PRESSED, LV_EVENT_PRESSING, LV_EVENT_PRESS_LOST,LV_EVENT_RELEASED, LV_EVENT_SHORT_CLICKED, LV_EVENT_CLICKED, LV_EVENT_LONG_PRESSED, LV_EVENT_LONG_PRESSED_REPEAT

Learn more about Events.

##Keys

The following Keys are processed by the Page:

  • LV_KEY_RIGHT/LEFT/UP/DOWN Scroll the page
